Hi Xiaowei,

I think just doing a condor_reconfig on the schedd will be sufficient. 
If you are using the default configuration, you should be able to login 
to your central manager and do
   condor_reconfig <name of machine running the schedd>

Alternatively, if you have root on the machine running the schedd, you 
can send it a HUP signal to achieve the same thing.  E.g. as root do

    kill -HUP <pid_of_your_schedd>

hope it helps,
Todd
